What do you guys think? :dontknow:
How do you think this shoe is looking, at this point of it's life?
I've kept the pressures between 28, and 30 psi.

I dig the dually style wheels, Bob. How do they both fit under the fender, or have you widened it out at the back?

 

[Bob Denman]

I was trying to give a bit of an angle to the shot, in an attempt to make it easier to see the tread depth...

 

[Cruzr Joe]

you probably got another 800 - 1,000 miles before replacement

I also thought that you might have had dual rear wheels :roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

Thanks, Joe! :thumbup:
I was hoping that those "dualies" in the rear, would help increase my tire life a bit...

 

[Jeriatric]

How do they look?

They look out of focus.

 

[ARtraveler]

Also agree on the 800 to 1000. That's the way my tire looked shortly before I replaced it.

I was thinking the same thing , but i did not want to embarrass Bob. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Mine looked like that around 4500 miles also. Then shortly after was bald in the middle and replaced at 4900 miles. I hope the new one does better!

Try this..!!

have mentioned this many times and learned it from Scotty....check the wear limit at the triangle on the tire edge.... you can still see the center line and have a lot left on that tire. This marking is on allcar tires as well and indicates the wear limit bars. They will be much lower than the water bars...your a gentle ryder Bob lots left....:thumbup:

Bob's a little out of focus too.

Bob's a little out of focus too.

Must be the cognac?

I just came from the dealer for a belt adjustment. My 14 RTS Khanda rear tire looks the same as yours at 4500 miles. The service manager said it's just about normal with that tire. It's a soft 2 ply tire and centripetal force shoves the center out and it wears out fast. He's got a lady client who replaced her OEM tire with a Kumho car tire and she's now at 12,500 miles on hers. The Kumho is about $110 and around one shop/hr to replace it. Comes to under $200 for twice the millage of Khanda OEM rear tire. :thumbup: Yea, I thought it was the cognac color that caused it too.

:shocked: Yeah... the whole "focus" thing... :shocked:
Welcome to MY World; that's about how I see things on a GOOD day!
You should see the :cusoor shots that I took of the Display when it turned 5,000 miles.
NONE of them are readable... :gaah:

I'm guessing 1000 miles will be the norm on the new F3 with everyone doing burn outs.
